Back from IBC
XR was the talk of the show, and for good reason. More fidelity, better reflections, and an easy way for talent to track how they’re interacting with a 3D environment are all things broadcasters want. We were pleased to see Unreal Engine applications—a key driver for this trend—in nearly 20 booths and surprise people with a sneak peek of Project Avalanche (which remains our secret…for now).
We’re also getting a lot of questions about how to find the right vendors/Unreal Engine specialists as real-time shows and events start to ramp up. Some good news there—we’ll be launching a Partner Portal soon, which will make it easier to find both.
